What Not to Miss at Miami Project Art Fair

Miami Project Art Fair is going to be among the first art fairs to be opened in December in Miami. Gathering fifty-five galleries from around the world, Miami Project is dedicated to collaboration with those galleries that have years of experience in art industry. Taking place in a beautiful venue – Deauville Beach Resort, it will run parallel with Art on Paper Miami(art fair that takes places at the same time, in the same space).

Of course, great pieces of contemporary artists will also be presented.
